Also, you probably want to know this: The *LibreOffice* list that
corresponds to users@openoffice.org is us...@global.libreoffice.org.
The *LibreOffice* list gets a LOT more traffic these days.

how many copies you use.
A little history might be in order: Sun Microsystems, which created
*OpenOffice*, was bought by Oracle 2 years ago. Oracle had little use
for *OpenOffice*, so most of those involved in its development created
a new group (The Document Foundation) and used the then-current
*OpenOffice* code as the starting point for *LibreOffice*. Since
then, *LibreOffice* has continued to develop while *OpenOffice* has
been in limbo. Oracle eventually gave the *OpenOffice* code and
trademark to the Apache Foundation, which will probably resume
development on *OpenOffice* in the near future. But as things stand
now, *LibreOffice* is the more up-to-date product.

Hello,
I have open office on my computer and it is so good I put it on my
wife's computer also. Unfortunately, her computer has just died. We
will get her a new machine. Will we be able to download open office
on her new machine? Even though this would mean we have downloaded 3
copies, we will actually only be using two, as one was killed when
her old computer died.
Your advice is much appreciated.
Best,
Dennis Donohue
